Without Cam, we had no shot from the get-go. I do not know this for sure, but I suspect the Wofford basketball staff probably knew all along that he wasn’t going to play but they kept it a secret- don’t want to risk losing any ticket sales. I strongly suspected this might happen and I therefore did not attend the game. And I am glad I didn’t. I know Cam’s injury couldn’t be helped, but the people that bought tickets for this game kind of got bamboozled in a way. They did not really get to see the Terriers at their best when the absolutely HAD to be, playing the league’s top team and all. Hopefully we can play these guys again in Asheville at full strength and have a shot at them then...we ain’t winning in Johnson City. Not unless Zion Williamson suddenly has a change of heart and then joins the team early.

I just saw that we have three games next week. It is that stretch that we have 4 games in 8 days and back to back against the best two teams in the league in the middle of that series. We have plenty of season left, and time to get better. Who knows, ETSU could have some visas revoked...

Maybe Trump will deport some of them. And there’s always the chance of academic ineligibility or criminal activity getting a player off their active roster...

I think ETSU is good enough and has produced the wins this season that the only way they lose is either with a very very off night randomly or deep in the Socon tourney, kind of like Kentucky a few years ago when they were undefeated or the Warriors when they had the best record in NBA history.

As was said early in the season, the key to our team is Cam. If he is healthy and plays hard we can beat anyone. Without him we have to have nine others play awfully well to win. We still have a very good team that is capable of getting to the dance. It is becoming possible that if ETSU continues its run but stumbles in the tournament we could be a two team league. If ETSU runs the table they could be a relatively high seed. Their RPI continues to rise.

What I hate is that we have absolutely no clue when Cam is returning. I don’t know a ton about it, but I guess that’s just the way concussion protocol is. But i’s kind of a helpless feeling being in the dark about it because he really is essential to our team’s success. Still, the future of a great young man is in the long run far more inportant than that, so I am behind being careful with him 100% and I don’t want that to get twisted. It’s just disappointing he can’t play andd I hate to lose, and I very much hate to lose with less than our best on the court...you always wonder what might have been.
